I think Pakistan is doing a good job in a tough time, but its a job, we are not big boss. And Israelis are big boys, they know this is hardly up to us, we do what the boss wants. Indians stuck in stupid optics games are no doubt in pain, and UAE is just unhappy with the whole situation. And thank you sushant bhai for always having our back ;)
Sushant Singh@SushantSin

India, Israel and UAE are the three countries which do not want to credit Pakistan.

@omarali50 Maybe for using the pre-1979 Irán flag in one of his tweets.

@asc89 To me this thread looks more like the views of most moderate Indian RWers, the op is just nitpicking IMO.

@omarali50 Which it is. God, I do hope they don't send lambs to a slaughter. It's just a really terrible idea.

A gujrati friend said this to me at a wedding last year.. Gujrat will be the first Indian state with a first world mindset (ie people will expect good infra, working services, law and order, etc)
infoindata@infoindata

Gujarat has expanded its lead over West Bengal and Kerala in economic size and GST collections, while West Bengal continues to trail both in per capita income, pointing to widening differences in economic scale and income levels across the three coastal states.

@Frankisalegend1 Not meant for the quoted post but have to add how many Mideast 'experts' either ignore or sidestep the issue that most modern Arab countries are in one way or another colonial creations involving violence to some degree.

A bit too optimistic, but a good read nonetheless. Weakening of NATO could benefit India immensely in terms of co-development & co-production and supply chain integration under the aegis of the recently signed India-EU defence pact. 'Trump’s NATO threat could be India’s biggest defence break' economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/defence/t…

@vjgtweets @razibkhan The UnitarianUniversalists might become influential again like they were slightly more than a century ago.

“I The Rig Veda, the most ancient Hindu scripture, says this: "Truth is One, but the sages speak of it by many names." A Hindu believes there are many paths to God. Jesus is one way, the Qur'an is another, yoga practice is a third. None is better than any other; all are equal. The most traditional, conservative Christians have not been taught to think like this. They learn in Sunday school that their religion is true, and others are false. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except through me." Americans are no longer buying it. According to a 2008 Pew Forum survey, 65 percent of us believe that "many religions can lead to eternal life"—including 37 percent of white evangelicals, the group most likely to believe that salvation is theirs alone. Also, the number of people who seek spiritual truth outside church is growing. Thirty percent of Americans call themselves "spiritual, not religious," according to a 2009 NEWSWEEK Poll, up from 24 percent in 2005. Stephen Prothero, religion professor at Boston University, has long framed the American propensity for "the divine-deli-cafeteria religion" as "very much in the spirit of Hinduism. You're not picking and choosing from different religions, because they're all the same," he says. "It isn't about orthodoxy. It's about whatever works. If going to yoga works, great—and if going to Catholic mass works, great. And if going to Catholic mass plus the yoga plus the Buddhist retreat works, that's great, too."”

@vjgtweets Will also add that the usual suspects will either overlook or obfuscate certain claims of both while promoting their popular works to maintain their version of secular narrative. One example is the marked portion in the following screenshot.

I found this amusing b/c Bhagat Singh (along with Ambedkar) has become one of the most revered and romanticized figures in South Asianist historiography. A handsome young revolutionary and avowed atheist who sacrificed his life at the altar of Indian Independence. The admiration is no doubt justified, and yet I suspect that many of his contemporary admirers don't actually read his writings. The view he espoused in the quote below would get him cancelled as a Hindu Nationalist today...

Guess which prominent Indian freedom fighter said this without looking it up; “We have to adopt one language, one script, one literature, one ideal and one nation, but the adoption of a single language precedes all the other unities, so they we can communicate with and comprehend each other. A Punjabi and a Madrasi must not sit together mute at a gathering, but try to communicate their ideas and emotions, and this should be done in our own language, Hindi, rather than in an alien language like English.”

@batatalal For all their sophistry, once someone points out how Arab countries surrounding Israel are also colonial creations out of violence (more or less depending on the circumstances when compared to Israel) the cancellation cheques start getting cashed.

@batatalal Not sure about "all over India" portion but his view on a specific linguistic issue would have gotten him cancelled today.

@Satvik_Pen Cannot recall the exact dates but during the 1965 war, there was an attack on the Indian embassy and Air India office in Jakarta, with the mob shouting anti- India slogans. Even earlier when Pandit Nehru struggled in 1962 his friend Sukarno favored Chairman Mao.

The Bandung spirit did not stand with India during the 1971 war preventing a genocide nor did it stand with Vietnam when it fought a Khmer Rouge backed by the US and China The idea of decolonized solidarity is one that evaporated within years of contact with reality.
Surbhi Kesar@SurbhiKesar

Remember the time when India was one of the leading voices in decolonisation movements of global South? Bandung conference? And now we are subordinating ourselves to imperial powers on wrong side of history. We used to be poorer back then but had much more dignity.
